Musician reviewer J. D. Considine wrote simply: "Don't wait up."[5] The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed Home by Dawn "one of the best, most enjoyable L.A. rock albums in years."[4] The New York Times noted that "although his idiom certainly is reminiscent of the Eagles', his very lack of dominant commercial success helps preserve his sense of freshness."[6]
